49. Ha Ha -- that's what my wife said last night!! n/t

137. Yeah,

I was looking for anyone of color.

I have sympathy for them only because I know how I would feel if Barack Obama had *NOT* been re-elected. I disagree with their choice of who they support, but know the heart-crushing feeling of your candidate losing.

144. Mmm-yummy! Tears of unfathomable sadness!

76. Yes

her sisters, daughters and female friends will let likely be forced to have a baby from a rape or incest, an unwanted ultrasound or other invassive proceedure and have their health care taken away. Boo hoo!

13. thank you

That was great to see. It's really kind of sad that many of those think Obama and his presidency is exactly what we know Rmoney and his would have been. They think the country is in danger from Obama just like we know it would have been in trouble with Rmoney.

Too bad Fox and hate radio exist.

Of course, most if not all have some real racial hatred to begin with for Fox and hate radio to be able to preach it to them.

15. I have ZERO sympathy for them, I'm sorry.

The ran such an arrogant and racist campaign! They are so cavalier about women's rights, minimizing them and us! And no one from the GOP came out for democracy, instead obstructing everyone's right to vote! I will never forgive them for that!!
Their loss of humanity cost them their honorable place in politics.

16. Bwahahahahahaha... Poor TeaHadists ! YOU FUCKING LOST ! NOW SUCK ON IT !!

17. I have no problem laughing at them.

Romney and his billionaires waged the ugliest and nastiest campaign of all. And his supporters were just as nasty. They were lame enough to believe that this election was about God or something.. it wasn't.

19. I would aplogizr to those people for the vote I cast..

But I cant.
I voted for Obama again because I did not want to see Social Security turned into a voucher program
I voted for Obama again because I did not want to see us go into another war
I voted for Obama again because I did not want to see millions of people go without health care
I voted for Obama again because I did not want to marriage equality to linger anymore
I voted for Obama again because feudalism is not an acceptable alternative
I voted for Obama again because everyone who wants too should be able to attend college and not have a burdening debt.
I voted for Obama again because investing in America is better than investing in China

56. +1

21. These pictures don't make me smile; they make me sad.

They make me sad because they make it clear how many of my
fellow citizens have been manipulated and deceived by the Republican
extremists.
There is a special place in hell for Rove, the Koch brothers and the
Bush/Cheney machine.

I feel nothing but sadness for these victims of the Republican delusion.
They have no clue as to how to join the rest of us in taking back our country.
They actually believe that Rmoney was their "great white hope."
A man who lied to them, has betrayed them and doesn't give a crap about them.
It is also a very sad visual portrayal of the level of ignorance among some our
fellow humans.
We are all Americans, even the least among us.

34. Make sweet wine from their bitter tears n/t

35. the biggest problem they faced last night?

there were running out of room at Logan Airport for the private Gulfstream jets to land and park. Some of them may have had to walk a couple of hundred yards on the tarmac, unless their servants thought to bring sedan chairs.

36. Veterans for Romney~amazing.

President Obama has done so much for veterans. Romney protests for the Vietnam war, then dodges it.

I was listening to a C-SPAN caller the night before the election. She was calling from Florida, and said her entire family (60 people!) were voting Obama. Her reason was Romney's lack of military service.

She didn't elaborate, but given that President Obama isn't a veteran, I'm assuming their stance had something to do with Romney's war-mongering stance, his draft-dodging, or his apparent lack of planned support for our returning military.

52. A beautiful sight!

53. I didn't gloat too much

I was feeling so emotionally and physically drained after the last few weeks, I almost didn't have the strength. All I could think of when I looked at them was that it could have been me. I've been down that road too many times in the last four decades.

111. Yes-- and it's a terrible road

The President didn't gloat-- he never would. He's got too much class, style, and dignity to ever do something so tacky. The repukes would have gloated--boy, would they EVER!! That's their way of dealing with things-- boorish, immature, and tacky.

149. I was thinking the "same thing"...

You're right about the President-- that's the type of person he is. ALL I could think about is what Romney and his cohorts would have done if HE WON. They would have gloated BIG TIME which I thought would have been "unfair" when President Obama and 1st Lady have done all they could for the Country!

I am so grateful that Obama was vindicated of the disrespect, insults, and outright lies...

YES WE DID DO IT!! I am so happy and thrilled!! All of you on here DU are THE BEST!!

61. All so sad that they were saved from voting against their

own best interests. Looking at the clothes and other accessories those people are wearing, they are not part of the 1% who would have benefitted from a Republican victory. They are of the 99% who voted because of racism, homophobia, sexism and fear of their guns being taken away from them. I hope they thank the rest of us when they realize their sorry asses were saved yesterday.

169. I've only been in Michigan for over a year...

and almost "everything" is affordable except the "property taxes". A "shotgun" house in Detroit has the taxes of a 4000 square foot house in Tennessee. I have been to Texas, Virginia, Hawaii, and California. I absolutely LOVE the climate and beauty of California! It's such a cool and laidback place...

170. Along the coast it's very beautiful and temperate

but the farther inland you get, the warmer in summer. I lived near Sacramento and it could be 110+ degrees for two weeks straight! At least, my Dad (who was raised in Ontario and would know) always said it was a dry heat, therefore much more comfortable than humidity. I know he's right, but it's hard not getting ANY rainfall from June through October. This is my favorite time of year. BTW, what is a "shotgun" house? A quick sale?

171. I definitely know the difference between dry heat

and HUMIDITY. Especially being from Tennessee. I'll take "dry heat" anyday. A "shotgun" house is a very small house (less than 1000 square feet) and is long (small in the front and goes back. almost long like a "shotgun barrell" lol). They're mostly found in urban areas and poverty stricken neighborhoods.

69. I drink their tears and want more. FUCK EM!!!!

70. Holy--! I wasn't expecting to see so many women there

That just makes me shake my head and wonder how on Earth they voted for two men who would've done everything in their power to make their lives and, after appointing anti-choice Supreme Court justices, the lives of their daughters/granddaughters/great-granddaughters miserable. (I strongly suspect the sheer number of white people there might give some clue to their thinking, though.)

77. That dude with the "R" on his face...

79. To all those emotionally broken republicans...

.... I sing: "Cry me a river, cry me a river...I cried a river over you" !!!...
Nawww.. they can't be "emotionally" broken, as sociopaths have no emotions.
They're just "broken", because they blew all that money for nothing.

80. You would cry too if happened to you.

84. This thread is obnoxious

As much as I dislike the Republican Party, I am not going to start gloating at individual supporters who are disappointed. Almost all of us over the age of 25 have been those people at some point and it's a really crappy place to be in. Every time I drive past exit 89 on I-95 in Maryland, I still get a nauseous feeling remembering that that is where I was on November 3, 2004 when my mom called to tell me Kerry conceded. I don't wish that feeling on anyone, especially not rank and file voters and activists who put their heart and soul into a campaign they believe in.

It's one thing to laugh and crow at the right wing pundits who were predicting a Romney landslide on TV. But putting up pictures of disappointed people who probably supported Romney as passionately as we supported Obama so DUers can take pleasure in their disappointment serves no purpose, and it's just plain mean in my opinion.

Yesterday was a great day for our country, culminating in the re-election of a good president whom I still believe has the potential to be great. Yesterday was a great day because it means the Affordable Care Act will be implemented and the war in Afghanistan will end in 2014 and because we will have four more years of a leader who is a steady hand in a crisis. Yesterday was a great day because Obama's re-election and the election of some great Democratic senators is a mandate for a more equitable tax system and women's rights and progressive legislation on immigration. Yesterday was a great day because the Republican attempts to suppress the vote failed. Yesterday was a great day because we re-elected a president who cares about 100% of Americans, not just 53%. That is what we should be celebrating, not the fact that some Romney supporters were understandably disappointed.

142. Spare me the sentimental bullshit.

These are people voting for a guy who wants to put our troops back into Iraq, opposes marriage equality, opposes a woman's right to choose, wants to leave the poor(like myself) out in the cold and shit out of luck. Sympathy? Fuck that. The rank and file is usually worse than the candidates. These jerks can kiss my ass.

161. Yes it is...

I don't like the Republican Party either but the pictures I rather see are that of Rove, Limbaugh, Palin, Bachmann, McConnell and the other pundits who wanted to see Obama fail. I remember the Clinton Impeachment, Al Gore, and Kerry's concession. I was satisfied to see Romney's Face Tuesday night. He's an out of touch multi-millionaire that can go back home and live his rich comfortable life. I believe these people in the pictures are fellow Americans who want the best for this Country but have been disillusioned by the pundit's right wing radical ideology.

97. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

98. It makes me feel bad in that I KNOW how it feels to have our guy not win

and it was pretty awful.

On the other hand, those people should get down on their knees and thank the Lord that Nitt didn't win. Had he won, and exercised the scary agenda he had for us, they'd have FAR, FAR, SADDER faces than shown here when it finally sunk in how awful his intentions were.

107. Very awful!

I remember President Bill Clinton's impeachment, Al Gore's concession in 2000, and Kerry's loss in 2004. I hope they get a grip on reality too. They should have joined some of their friends a while back who formed "Republicans for Obama"...

153. cheezmaka! WE WON!

131. As deluded as I think they are ...

... I have to sympathize. Because, as a Democrat of a certain age, I've been in their shoes so many times ... crying on election night (or out getting plastered and crying) because some jackass Republican got handed the keys to the kingdom.

143. Sympathize?

These people are voting for a candidate who wants to control people's personal lives and choices, wants to re-invade Iraq and wants to smash the safety net. I refuse to sympathize with that. The rank and file is usually more racist and abhorrent than even the candidates themselves.
